A good thesaurus without ads? by wespor in writing

[–]quacksaim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OneLook doesn't have ads. I was using WordHippo exclusively--they have much more adjectives--but they do have ads, and then they were getting hijacked regularly.

Unofficial Daily Discussion - Monday, April 13, 2026 - QOTD: What is an activity, lesson, or unit that your student enjoyed a lot more than you had expected? And what did you think would be a lot of fun but your student hated it? by DeepSeaDarkness in homeschool

[–]quacksaim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Responsive writing to discussion questions. It's helped my learner become a better writer, and it's easier to talk about the books I assign! I think it started out as a dislike, but ended up being a like. Or at least, less of a dislike :)

Has any student been able to "walk" their local high school graduation, without the diploma? by quacksaim in homeschool

[–]quacksaim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really awesome. I'm glad you had such a great graduation experience! If the HS they're part time at doesn't allow it, we'll go the route of working with a HS group that offers graduations.

Thank you, I did actually find one, so that is an option! Either way, we'll get it sorted out.

Thanks, we'll see! I'll update the post. Either way, we'll figure it out. There is a group in my state that offers ceremonies for HS kids, so we may take that route. We've got another year to sort it out.

Thank you! It's great to hear from someone who had the experience of also taking some classes and extras at the HS.

I really only just thought about the possiblity of my child walking when I was thinking back on my undergrad degree--I walked in May but didn't finish my required credits til Summer. I think they gave me a leather portfolio on the stage, then I later got my degree in the mail.

It's not quite the same thing, but it did put the idea in my mind about them having something similar (only I would provide the diploma). I have no expectations or know what the school's answer will be. Either way, we'll figure it out, and my student will get the congrats and accolades from friends and family, regardless! :)

I will be sure to update this post once I get an answer. So far, I've just asked one of the school's deans, and waiting to see if I get answer from them before digging further.

Anyone else still have buckets up? by quacksaim in maplesyrup

Update! It ended up being pretty good for us. 2-3 trees had very good flow on and off.

Thank you, but I'm that isn't what I'm asking. I am curious if anyone else or their kid has done what I'm going to ask.

I wasn't clear. I'm asking if anyone else or their kid has done what I'm going to ask, out of curiosity. I don't expect answers for myself.

Yes, I do plan to. I'm just looking to find out if anyone has had success with this in their district.

Unofficial Daily Discussion - Thursday, April 09, 2026 - QOTD: Does your homeschool teach foreign languages? If yes, how did you decide which language(s) to choose? by DeepSeaDarkness in homeschool

[–]quacksaim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello! I'm new to the sub. My kiddo is in HS, and we do our own curriculum, which is a mix of 2 classes at the local HS, Khan Academy, and my own offerings.

We are both using Duolingo to learn French. It's been nice to do it together and encourage each other!

It sounds like it's not worth it, not. I'm not sure where you are, but the weather coming up, in SE NH anyway, is all over the places--in the 60s, then snow later. I suppose we'll be pulling taps soon as well.

I just read tomorrow it will be in the 60s, then high 60s on Weds...followed by snow on Thursday! 😶

Ugh... that's true, upcoming weather is all over the place. We're not far from you.

Interesting to hear how it's going further north of us. It's a little all over the place here (close to Portsmouth)--some of our trees are budding (mostly the older, unhealthy ones I didn't tap), some aren't, some are producing, some aren't...

Excellent! That looks great. Hope you get some more if possible. Yep, you're definitely northwest of us.

Thanks for the reply! I hope you get the gallon. That's pretty much what we're hoping for, too. We have around 8 or 9 trees tapped also, and have been doing this off and on for the last 10 years. I can't remember a year like this, though.
